Judges 8:5-17

5And he saidH559 to the menH376 of SuccothH5523, GiveH5414, I pray you, loaves of breadH3899 to the peopleH5971 that follow me, for they are faint; and I am pursuingH7291 after ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, kingsH4428 of MidianH4080.

6And the chiefH8269 men of SuccothH5523 saidH559, Are the handsH3027 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 already in thy handH3027, that we should giveH5414 breadH3899 to thine armyH6635?

7And GideonH1439 saidH559, ThereforeH3651 when Jehovah delivers ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 into my handH3027, I will threshH1758 your fleshH1320 with thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and with briars.

8And he wentH5927 up thence to PenuelH6439, and spokeH1696 to them in like manner. And the menH376 of PenuelH6439 answeredH6030 him as the menH376 of SuccothH5523 had answeredH6030.

9And he spoke alsoH1571 to the menH376 of PenuelH6439, sayingH559, When I come again in peaceH7965, I will breakH5422 down this towerH4026.

10Now ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 were in Karkor, and their campH4264 with them, about fifteen thousandH505 [menH376], all that were leftH3498 of the whole campH4264 of the children of the eastH6924; for there had fallenH5307 a hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719.

11And GideonH1439 wentH5927 up by the wayH1870 of them that dwellH7931 in tentsH168 on the eastH6924 of NobahH5025 and JogbehahH3011, and smote the campH4264; for the campH4264 wasH1961 at its ease.

12And ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 fledH5127, and he pursuedH7291 after them, and he tookH3920 the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, and discomfited all the campH4264.

13And GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 returnedH7725 from the battleH4421, from the ascentH4608 of Heres.

14And he caughtH3920 a youthH5288 of the menH376 of SuccothH5523, and inquired of him; and he wroteH3789 downH3789 for him the chiefH8269 menH376 of SuccothH5523, and the eldersH2205 thereof, seventy-sevenH7657 menH376.

15And he cameH935 to the menH376 of SuccothH5523, and saidH559, Behold ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, with whom ye did upbraid me, sayingH559, Are the handsH3027 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 already in thy handH3027, that we should giveH5414 breadH3899 to thy menH376 that are wearyH3286?

16And he tookH3947 the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892, and thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and briars, and with them he taught the menH376 of SuccothH5523.

17And he brokeH5422 down the towerH4026 of PenuelH6439, and slewH2026 the menH376 of the cityH5892.
